The RNA molecule is a molecule copied a from a segment of DNA by a process called Transcription. In order to start this transcription process, an enzyme called RNA polymerase is needed. This RNA polymerase will bind to a certain length of amino acids called the Promoter sequences. The transcription process will now start at a nucleotide near the promoter site. The name give for this site is called the "Transcription Start Site".

Along the process, a Phosphodiester bond is formed between the 3'- hydroxyl group of the first mucleotide and 5'- triphosphate on the subsequence nucleotide, thus the direction of synthesis is from 5' to 3'.
